Habitat Progress Update

The time has come, the time is now, another Habitat update is here! (Dr. Suess was a great rhymer.)

It has been a couple of months since the last update, and a lot has happened. Good things.

The foundation has been poured on Lot 1, and the framing for the first floor, and the sheathing is all done. The sub-floor is currently being put in place.

Houses 2 and 3 have the roofing done, a fair amount of the plumbing is taken care of, the wiring is being put in place, windows and doors are in place, and siding is currently being put up.

Houses 4 and 5 have the foundations dug out, with all the form boards in place. The in-ground plumbing on house 4 passed the inspection, and house 5 was pressure tested today. It looked pretty good. After the plumbing passes inspection, the trenches around have to be filled in with sand. In addition to filling the plumbing trenches, gravel has to be laid, then tarp over the top, then sand on top of the tarp, and then finally the rebar.

House 6 (my house) has the trenches dug out, but not much really starting up yet.

It was pretty hot today, and a lot of this summer is going to be pretty rough. I'm excited to keep working out on the site, and learning stuff. I'll post some pictures that were taken at a Hays family and friends day.
That's it for today!
